And if you know me, you know I am a free thinker and a curious Traveller in this #Fediverse of ours.
Just joined a new community -- the Mastodon instance for the Write.as company, who are the developers of my beloved Write.Freely blog platform.
I wanted to be close to them (already been a member on their Forums for months), so I can see new ideas, comment and suggest my own, be an active contributor to what for me is a GREAT project.
and the free open source site at https://writefreely.org/
Big thank you to Matt, @matt , the project leader - great work, friend.
I will be signing in as @rgx there.

@design_RG @matt @rgx@writing.exchange @rgx@write.tedomum.net How do you have the time to be on so many instances? LOL

LOL.... I could flip that right back at you, also a never ceasing #nomad like me. 😜
Truth is, we can't really be active on more than a couple, but there's a use for more of them -- even if for casual use.
I wrote a blog page 6 months ago which I still find very relevant, and plan for a new page sometime soon -- since I have joined a few new communities recently, and have a new campaign, #markdown or Else!
Plus my usual, active and opinionated, Cat Friendly and STEM Lord account at Qoto.org. 😉
I am working on things all day, it's more than a Full Time job for me; no pay at all, but great satisfaction with the pages I create on my blogs (2 of them active, more to come), my Fediverse Reporting activity, etc.
Good that I have the time to do it, for the communities I am involved and for myself. I just described this, my amateur writing and journalism ongoing apprenticeship, to a friend who complained I sounded annoyed when she called (a phone call!!) when I was in mid flight, new page in development... 😉
@design_RG @matt @rgx@writing.exchange @rgx@write.tedomum.net Very nice! I am on a few instances (6 or 7, I think), but I only really have time to heavily maintain two or three, as has been your experience.

Already looking like Home, my new place. 🤩
@realcaseyrollins
Was curious to ask you, how is it goign at Kafuka.me?
I have signed up but not taken delivery of a new account there as well.
Compared to this one, it has some major advantages (Glitch.Social, 5000 chars posts, etc).
Here it's standard Mastodon, and this new version 3.1.4 BROKE my favourite AWI setup.
Tinkering in the innards by Eugen, argh.
Single column for me here, as the standard mastodon AWI is brain disadvantaged to be polite.

@rgx @design_RG It's really nice! So nice, in fact, that I've used it as a backup for my SFW account over at mstdn.social! I would like to make it my main, but the speech rules do seem a bit more stringent there than on mstdn.social.
Playing with the #Markdown in particular has been a pleasure.
Wonderful to hear and a glowing endorsement to Tom, admin there.
HIGHLY recommend this -- an Interactive tutorial that is really wonderful -- I learned it there and fully endorse it.
Outstanding really : https://www.markdowntutorial.com/

It is indeed a pity, but it's difficult to have enough attention and stamina to process more of the local instance's Feeds, their flow is the reason I join and visit.
But thanks to the awesome power of the Pinafore client, I have currently about 11 accounts, all ready and accessible with ONE single click for switching.
And then, the delightful speed and ease, elegance of Pinafore for any of them.
Adding this new account to it asap; took care of essentials here.
